Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 33 of 33, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt: contact stated while driving pressed on the brake pedal and there were no brakes. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home where he checked the vehicle and found the brake lines rubbed together, causing a hole to rub through the metal brake lines. This resulted in loss of brakes.
Dt: the consumer owns a 1999 ford f-250 super duty pickup. The consumer felt that the brakes were assembled improperly. The disc brakes were installed with anti-squeal pads with two sets on the right rear and on the left side there were no anti-squeal pads. The consumer replaced the components at his own expense. The consumer replaced the right rear brake rotor and the rear brake pads. While trying to adjust the parking brake the consumer realized that the parking brake adjuster on the right wheel was missing. The consumer contacted the manufacturer, but they did not resolve any of the concerns. *ak (12/02/05)
Applied brake pedal, went to floor, no brakes. The brake line ruptured. I investigated to see where the leak was, the entire line from the undercarriage back is badly corroded, all the way up to where it connects to the line coming from the master cylinder (enen the coupling is corroded). There is obviously a chemical reaction occurring between metals. I had this happen in my driveway with no speed, used my emergency brake to stop truck, if this had been a normal stop (e.g., a stop in traffic, it most likely would have resulted in serious injury or death. There was no warning of this pending failure.
1999 ford sd f250 crew cab long bed - diesel 6 spd manual: front left break line cut by engine plastic splash shield. Vehicle has 158k miles no rust on break line but you can tell that the splash shield has been rubbing against the metal line. There is obviously not enough clearance created in the splash shield design. I am not sure if this applies only to diesel applications due to the hydraulic power assist . This almost created serious accident when the line ruptured; we were pulling a 26 ft trailer which had electric breaks that help stop the vehicle before we reached a major intersection. The truck had just been in for service at the ford dealership two days before for various services. There was no warnings the breaks were firm and the they went withg one step of last step on the break. Break line will need to be replaced, modified to miss splash sheild or splash sheild will need to be modified to assure clrearance to break line.
Fail to brake, found hole in brake line to rear axle due to corrosion . I will replace line asap.
While applying the brake pedal the brakes failed . This caused the vehicle to continue to accelerated and then stop. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle and drove it to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic could not duplicate the problem. Please provide further details. *nm
While towing a trailer (with equalizer) the left rear emergency brake cable rubbed against inside of left tire causing the brake cables rubber sleeve to wear down to the metal braiding and the tire to be worn down to the sidewall cords (caught before tire rupture) . There isn't a bracket or retaining system in place to prevent this from happening. I had to re-route the cable slightly and restrain it with electrical cable ties. It seems that this condition only happens when the vehicle is under a load. The tire and cable need to be replaced, and are still on hand.
When brakes were depressed they didn't hold. The brake pads, where it clues to the metal, separated and damaged the caliper and skid disc. Dealership replaced parts, but problem recurred.
The emergency brake cable was routed incorrectly, which caused it to rub against the left rear tire, and becoming completely exposed. Dealer diagnosed the retainer bracket was not installed and corrected. Dealer service dept. Then routed cable under the left rear leaf spring which was rubbing the cable again, and caused exposure.*ak *ts. The fuel gauge sender was replaced.
While backing a jet ski trailer down a boat ramp the brake pedal came completely disconnected from the other components and laid against the firewall. This made the brake system unusable. The truck was finally stopped with the parking bake plus the trailer jack knifing to the left and into the left rear quarter panel of the pickup bed. The yellow retaining pin that holds the brake pedal post within the ? Stabalizing mount and the electrical sensor module was found on the floorboards. Once reconnected the brake system performed normally.
Brake rotors warped several times, turned, and replaced once. This last time brake pads were worn off and down to metal. Experience these issues each time I take a long trip of 1000 miles on the interstate. Driving at high speed for 3-4 hours before stopping and little or no braking during this period. This last time I had to pay for the turning of the rotors and brake kit. New kit has springs to help a problem per tech? This is a defective system!
The was a problem with the brake rotors. When the vehicle was driven, the brakes became warm and the front end of the truck vibrated when applied. The consumer was told by the mechanic, the brakes were warped and it was normal for most of these kinds of trucks. *nlm the vibration was caused by the front spindle and rotors. *ts
Severe brake pedal pulsation since truck was new. Have had four major repairs to the system. Pads, rotors, etc. Still experience the problems. Heat affected poor quality of metal in the calipers.
Parking brake cable end pulled off rendering parking brake disabled.
The vehicles brake line failed while driving . The dealer stated that the brakes were rubbing against the master cylinder.
Truck wanders on road and pulls when brakes applied, dealer was told of this problem since viehicle was purchased they never could find the problem. I have owned this viehicle for 3 years and have replaced brake pads 3 times and have had to replace the hubs twice myself at my expence out of warranty now. There was almost a fatality when I applied the brakes my truck pulled me into the ditch sliding and rocking from drivers side to passenger side up on two wheels. My airbag light flashes on and off. Who knows if they even work. My overdrive switch has been replaced 4 times and is broke again. Door ajar lite on constantly. But quality ford cant find or offer me some kind of solution. They need to be investigated.
The rotors over heated, when driving.
The vehicle rolled off hill after being parked 60 minutes. Truck was in first gear with emergency brake on! This happened in november of 2001. Received recall notice from ford motor company during may of 2002 and had service completed may 29th of 2002. On february 28th 2003 the same truck rolled off another hill while in first gear with the emergency brake on, after being parked over 45 minutes! There seems to be a design problem with the emergency brakes and/or transmissions/gear ratio in this model truck***recall did not work!!!!. A person should be able to put this truck in either first gear or reverse with the emergency brake on and come back and find your truck parked in the same place, not two blocks away on top of another car! Especially after a recall for this problem!!!! Absolutely ridiculous. How else is the general public to park these vehicles? This problem has ruined three vehicles, my flawless insurance record and is going to kill somebody if it already hasn't.
Consumer noticed the parking brake cable broke. Dealer had been notified. Mr vehicle's manufacturer date not included in recall 02s34. *tt
Supplment; air bag and anti lock brakes did not work
The ABS brake system experienced complete failure on one occasion, consumer had previously brought the vehicle in several times due to extreme pulsation while braking causing difficulty in maintaining control, the dealership was not able to remedy the problems with the system prior to complete failure.
I think that ford has a problem that needs to be addressed it is not a complete failure but it will lead to some faital problems. They have addressed the problem on current models but the older ones are still driving around on inadaquit brakes. The rotors are warping with little use and left unattended will cause loss of control of the vehicle. The dealer is putting a bandage on a serious problem.
